I also used to listen to C2C like it was from up on high.

I've recently started listening to classic C2C episodes, and in hindsight, WOW, it was so much BS. Like, sooooo much. I'm fairly tolerant to woo, but there just so much hyped made up whole cloth.

Doing the Lord's work

Literally the farthest the conspiracy theories went in 2012 is where we're headed. Martial law, false flags, posse comitatus, seizing guns.

Very common at places up in Lapland as well, though not super useful anymore since everyone just has an app that does the same thing.

Yeah, I think that seeking simple meaning is the inevitably of growing up in the mess of being online. Being offline and finding meaning in life is the purest form of rebellion to the status quo.

The number of them fully embracing and aspiring to things like tradwive life is terrifying. Their motivations are different, but the result is very similar.

OK, well let's see how it plays out in 20 years and see where things go.

100% agree. These along with induction charging roads are what puts EVs over the line in terms of average distance per charge.

Sodium is also far easier to get, no mines involved. This might be closer to the era of 89¢ gas.

I don't hate the "art." The AI can't do much about it.

What I strongly dislike is people who manage to draft literally 40 words or less and think they "created" something.

You didn't. You a mathematical model to do something for you. You therw 175 tokens into a whirlpool and got am 87% what you wanted image out. If you even had an idea of what you wanted before hand.

Proposed foreign aid cuts could WILL lead to millions of HIV deaths.

FTFY

It's literally one of the Signal texts to blame Biden.

More like "these boys, oh. Why is he carrying a barrow? Are they making a music video?"

Looking forward to floating my life savings out of the market and into silver coins and AUS Dollars to avoid this mess.

You should get a better VPN. Mine only gives me this rarely, often when I'm using a node that I can assume is where a bunch of prime would use to run bots.

Aerosolized lead likely would smell like something, which is ultimately what we're taking about. A machine shop has a distinct smell because there's aerosolized steel in the air.

Well, it makes me double check my knowledge, which helps me learn to some degree, but it's not what I'm trying to make happen.

Not at all. This person is only describing life/work in some of the post-WII developed world. Historically, this is the anomaly, not the norm.

For a large part of recorded history, the formula was that land/resource holders offered anyone the cheapest, lousiest, and worst acceptable conditions in exchange for work. The conditions of the resource holders also actually sucked, and when leveraging economies of scale, offers of relative physical and economic security (sure, you'll be kinda poor, but you don't have to travel to another town to sell grain to survive because the Lord will always buy it from you at a "fair" rate.) were typically the value add that made it worth it to consider share-cropping under nobility as opposed to simply going it alone.

I'm not sure why Reddit and Lemmy seem so hell-bent on this fantasy version of history where farming is a joy denied us by the wealthy, but its hilariously misguided. Considering where things are headed, it sounds like for many it will end up being a dangerously wrong fantasy that others can take advantage of easily, and people that post things like this will learn the lesson first hand.

I like to use GPT to create practice tests for certification tests. Even if I give it very specific guidance to double check what it thinks is a correct answer, it will gladly tell me I got questions wrong and I will have to ask it to triple check the right answer, which is what I actually answered.

Can't smell something that was so pervasive in the environment that an estimated 660 metric tons are frozen into Antarctic ice. Humans only smell changes in things, our brains are wired to grow to ignore a pervasive smell.

Seriously. HN doesn't even actually need JS to read it. And it's certainly not filled with trackers by any means. Might as well call Lemmy a privacy nightmare.
